Peripapillary and Macular Vessel Density in Patients with Glaucoma and Single-Hemifield Visual Field Defect

TLDR
Reduced peripapillary and macular vessel density was detectable in the perimetrically intact hemiretinae of glaucoma eyes with a single-hemifield defect and Optical coherence tomography angiography potentially shows promise for identifyingglaucomatous damage before focal VF defects are detectable.

Projection-Resolved Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of Macular Retinal Circulation in Glaucoma

TL;DR: Reflectance-compensated SVC VD measurement by PR-OCTA detected glaucoma with high accuracy and could be useful in the clinical evaluation of glAUcoma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography of the Superficial Microvasculature in the Macular and Peripapillary Areas in Glaucomatous and Healthy Eyes.

TL;DR: The measurement of the macular superficial vessel density had similar diagnostic accuracy to peripapillary RNFL and macular GCC thickness for differentiating between glaucomatous and healthy eyes.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Macular and Peripapillary Vessel Perfusion Density in Healthy Subjects, Glaucoma Suspects, and Glaucoma Patients

TL;DR: Structural damage is evident both in the peripapillary and in macular areas, and diagnostic abilities are excellent for structural variables, less so but still good for peripAPillary VD, and poor for macular VD.

Measurement Floors and Dynamic Ranges of OCT and OCT Angiography in Glaucoma

TL;DR: In late-stage glaucoma, particularly when VF MD is worse than -14 dB, OCTA-measured pfVD is a promising tool for monitoring progression because it does not have a detectable measurement floor, but the number of steps within the dynamic range of a parameter also needs to be considered.

Peripapillary and Macular Vessel Density in Patients with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Unilateral Visual Field Loss.

TL;DR: OCT-A measures detect changes in retinal microvasculature before VF damage is detectable in patients with POAG, and these changes may reflect damage to tissues relevant to the pathophysiology of glaucoma.

Primary open-angle glaucoma.

TL;DR: Improvements in therapy consist of more effective and better-tolerated drugs to lower intraocular pressure, and more effective surgical procedures to directly treat and protect the retinal ganglion cells that are damaged in glaucoma.

The impact of ocular blood flow in glaucoma.

TL;DR: The potential role of OBf in glaucoma is discussed and how a disturbance of OBF could increase the optic nerve's sensitivity to IOP is discussed.

Retinal Vascular Layers Imaged by Fluorescein Angiography and Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

TL;DR: In none of the 12 eyes could the radial peripapillary capillary network be visualized completely around the nerve head by fluorescein angiography, whereas the network was readily visualized in the SSADA scans.
